Hey, this is me, I think this is the first time I have posted myself here. I don't have a family to photograph today and I really didn't plan my day today... so I have just taken a minute to sit and reflex. I don't think we do I ever give time for that. It's always go go go!
How is your day going today?

Funny how life shows you that the little 💫 things matter. Whether you’re taking a walk along a forest 🌳 or beach 🌴, spending time with family is priceless. That is the importance part - letting those little things matter. How are you spending time during this holiday weekend? 😁

There really is something magical about a cup of coffee in the morning...sitting outside, listening to the birds...the sound the breeze makes in the trees...the way the sun makes the dew on the leaves and grass glisten...the coolness of the air and the warmth of the sun and the coffee in my mug..listening to the world slowly wake up...the calm before the hustle.. this is my meditation..this is my happy place... and to think..I was just going to stay in bed and miss all of this...
So grateful for quiet moments like this..for the morning sun on my face. I always imagine my mom sitting out here with me-this was her time of day-I know now how she appreciated the quiet and calmness of the mornings...and coffee☕️

Real shit. ⁣
⁣
This past month has been rough. Physically I feel like I’ve been kicking ass. This is the strongest I have felt in a long ass time and I’m really proud of that. But mentally, my shit has just been OFF. And maybe it’s because I’ve been solely focusing on the physical part of me. Because let’s be real, feeling strong is an incredible feeling. It’s addicting. ⁣
⁣
In those moments in my workouts when my blood pressure is through the fucking roof and I feel like I could lift a goddamn car... I feel like literally nothing can touch me. In those moments, I am strong, I’m beautiful, I’m a badass bitch, and I feel like for once I actually have my shit together.⁣
⁣
But that feeling doesn’t last forever. ⁣
⁣
Eventually the workout ends, and the lights come on. Blood pressure comes back down, endorphin high wears off....and I’m back to square one. ⁣
⁣
*Queue the bullshit, anxious thoughts that creep their way back in....⁣
⁣
I start to second guess my worth, my decisions I make, and my purpose. ⁣
⁣
I’m gonna be honest, the gym is my escape. My escape from all the stress of every day life, my thoughts, and my anxiety. ⁣
⁣
There’s really not a point to any of this. But I will tell you what I’ve come to realize. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes you have to take 59292 steps back and reevaluate the fuck out of yourself.⁣
⁣
Be vulnerable. Face your bullshit, face your fears. Hold yourself accountable for the things you have control of. Let go of the things you don’t.
